Section 1003(a)(iii) requires a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $6 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. The Company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during the period in which the Company implements its plan to become compliant with these NYSE American continued listing standards, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American. The Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol “AIM”, but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate the status of the Common Stock as “below compliance”. The Notice does not affect the Company’s ongoing business operations or its reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company must submit a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) by January 10, 2025, addressing how it intends to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide by June 11, 2026. The Company has begun to prepare its Plan for submission to the NYSE American by the January 10, 2025 deadline.
If the NYSE American accepts the Company’s Plan, the Company will be able to continue its listing during its implementation of the Plan and will be subject to continued periodic review by the NYSE American staff. If the Plan is not submitted, or not accepted, or is accepted but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by June 11, 2026, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during such period, the Company will be subject to delisting procedures as set forth in the Company Guide.
